What are you drunk so early in the morning? What does Stan have to do with this?

I knew, you'd be the only one to see that. Every time we go back and forth it's usually about Stan! Just trying to get a rile at of you. :wink:

If we have to trade Dwight, I hope we fire Otis & hire a new GM just to make the trade .. Cause I'm sure Otis will find a way to screw this up too

Do the Lakers, Nets or Mavs have an overpaid Warrior on their roster?? Preferably a good shooter, not great on defense & past his prime

I have a feeling that even if it were obvious that we would get cp3 or deron that dwight would still leave. I really just have a problem with his attitude and how he's handled himself if the tampering story is true. for that matter, why is he talking to the nets now anyway?

trade his ass for bynum. forget the laker past. they wouldn't get dwight AND cp if we for bynum. maybe we end up with Paul after all is said and done with bynum and a high draft pick.

this whole thing appears EXACTLY like the Miami collusion.

Yeah, Otis will probably throw in Ryan & a pick to sweeten the deal :lol:

Trade Nelson, Reddick, Hedo, Q and Duhon for expirings or picks.

Do not trade Howard, let him be on a bad team, we will probably get a good pick because our roster is going to suck.

No Dwight Howard sign trade.

Why no Lopez or Bynum, big man get paid and I do not consider them to be 10+ players.

I`ll repeat what I said earlier.

So Dwight has a financial incentive to sign an extension before January first, right?

I dont understand what the Devos family is thinking!

Your the owner, you dont have to take sh*t from Otis.....

just fire his *** if he says any different from "yes sir, no sir, mighty fine day we're having, huh sir?"

jameeeeer · Post #1410 » by **jameeeeer** » Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:00 pm

i think we have to fire otis, now, regardless of how much turmoil it would create. if there is infighting about dwight, it's gotta be done. i trust martins and the RDV family more.

If you're ownership and want to keep Dwight but GM is against it, u fire his ass and find someone who will clean up the mess. I feel bad for RDV cause he did everythig he could to give Otis the tools to build a contender.

Extension pays less than signing a new contract. He gets more years and money buy resigning and not extending. Thats one of the loopholes of the new CBA. This is why CP3 and Dwight dont commit to an extensions and teams who trade for them need to be secure in said star player resigning with them.

looks like dallas might be looking more at other things than dwight?

I don't know why but I just have a feeling of optimism that things will work out, if nothing else I see Dwight here until at least the off season. I don't think he's mentally strong enough to handle an ASG in Orlando after leaving the team.

I also don't understand the hate on Howard on these forums, this team has only gotten worse over the years while he has progressed it will definitely suck if he leaves but how little help and support this team has given him on the court I can't blame him.

ehmjay1 · Post #1418 » by **ehmjay1** » Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:05 pm

If we are going to trade Dwight then it should NOT be Otis who pulls the trigger on this. It should be the New GM whoever it may be in the post-Dwight era. He should get a free hand at constructing his style of team. Because quite frankly I can't stand Otis anymore. These past 48 hours have been critical and what have we done? Nothing, as a matter of fact he managed to make the roster even LESS appealing. DeVos should do as he pleases, if he wants to keep Howard than keep him, and if he wants to trade him, than it should be under the watchful eye of a new GM

The best news that can come right now is that Otis has been fired.

Serious Unrest in Magic Front Office Over How to Deal with Dwight wp.me/p1GPHW-uo

It seems that the Magic are just as confused over what to do with Dwight Howard as Dwight Howard is about what to do with himself. I received word today that there is serious unrest within the Orlando Magic front office about how to deal with Dwight Howard.

It seems as if the organization is almost splitting into two camps; one camp to trade Dwight now and one camp that says that the team should never trade him under any circumstances.

Which side will win?
